Bring on the transsexual horses!

Everyone remember back when I said I really fancy Sue Perkins?. Well, it's been a great week on that front; she was on Heresy on Tuesday (from which this post gets its headline - anyone else get the reference?), and then she was on The News Quiz tonight as well (both on Listen Again at the moment, can't find the MP3 downloads on a quick search). Memorable quote on Ruth Kelly:

She's not fit for any century ... she's walked towards a load of jobs she's no good at.

We repeat, Ruth Kelly: she's rubbish and should resign.

If I get time over the weekend, I might put up a poll of the current cabinet and ask for people to vote for those likely to make it through to Brown's cabinet. Reid's already gone, Hodge has to go, as does Hewitt, others I'm not so sure of; Gordo'll need to do a clean sweep in many respects. Ah well.

In other news, had the crappiest megabus driver ever today, but apart from traffic and his inability to stop effectively, was OK. Then I managed to not get off the train at Brighouse. D'oh! So instead of getting to Elland just about now for a nice drink in Jennie's pub, I missed the last bus and am waiting for her here; I'm actually about to take the dog fora walk. Ouch...

I see she's trained you well already. :o)

Re: Patsy. Leave the health post, yes. Leave Government and/or the Cabinet? Hmm. She seems to be able to whip herself up into a frenzy of soundbites read from index cards much like Ms Jowell (though Ms Jowell is much better at it), so I could see her being kept on in some other role, possibly sub-Cabinet. Perhaps Leader of the Commons, or something like that without major policy areas. It looks like Gordon might bundle some of the Parliamentary reforms in with his more general constitutional reforms, so whoever's Leader of the Commons might have considerably restricted freedom when trying to do things like modernise the House.

The member of the Cabinet I want to see leave it, more than any other because I'm irrational like that, is Hazel Fscking Blears.

My big question about the Cabinet: who in thier right mind is going to want Chancellor?

I had heard that Darling might get it. But I really can't imagine Brown letting anyone else actually do anything.
